#1 Is WWE Champion Brock Lesnar a RAW superstar?

WWE champion Brock Lesnar made an appearance on RAW this week but maintained that he is a free agent. He will be appearing at SmackDown this week as well. As noted, the plan is still for him to face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. The Beast Incarnate will first have to face Bobby Lashley at the Royal Rumble this month.

PWInsider has noted that even though Lesnar is being referred to as a free agent, he is listed as part of the internal RAW roster.

Even on RAW this week, The Beast Incarnate had a message for Roman Reigns. Lesnar wished Reigns a speedy recovery and called himself the 'real' champion of WWE.

“Before we get this party started, I would like to give a shout out to my good buddy Roman Reigns. He's probably sitting at home, more likely tuned in to Monday Night RAW, tuned in to the new WWE Heavyweight Champion, the real champion, Brock Lesnar. Get well soon buddy!” said Brock Lesnar.

With Paul Heyman joining Brock Lesnar again, their encounter on SmackDown will be interesting.
